We may have to recreate the "old" KW feel somewhere else..... I don't think I care much for the new, improved upscale condo version....barefoot gecko wrote:Atlantic Shores is no more. The whole complex is torn down and condos are going up. Welcome to the new trend in KW.
Yeah, that's a bummer. What's the next - upstairs of the Bull and Whistle?SchoolGirlHeart wrote:We may have to recreate the "old" KW feel somewhere else.....

The wife and I are staying at the Hyatt Hotel and Marina. Has anyone spent time there and could you give us some info. on the property? Thanks... Only 7 more sleeps 'till MOTM... Forget walkin. Rent a bike for ten dollars a day. But watch out for those danged parked cars. After a few beers they just jump right out at you.gottagofishin wrote:The Southernmost Hotel was great. It's on the far eastern end of Duval Street 1 block from the beach. It's an easy walk down Duavl to all the bars. Get a pool view room.

We walked the first day and then rented bikes for the rest of the week. Great way to explore Key West. The bike rental is right across the street from the hotel. Riding home from the bars at 2am was an experience. Make sure you get lights from the rental guy. They say that the police give out tickets if you don't have lights on the bikes after dark.OystersandBeer wrote:Forget walkin. Rent a bike for ten dollars a day.

I had a beer at the Whistle last night! I try not to climb upstairs-it's usually "bad ugly"!OystersandBeer wrote:Yeah, that's a bummer.

Actualy, there are some sad plans in the future. If you look at the new drawn up picture plans of the waterfront you notice there is no Schooner Wharf in the picture.OystersandBeer wrote:Yeah, that's a bummer.

Waterfront market is a goner as well. I would like to personally thank all the mainlanders who want to escape the mainland and come to KW and turn into the mainland.
Just like the Chart room.To be more preciese... If you do not have lights you could get pulled over. If you have had a few drinks you will be given a DUI. Yes, it is real. real ticket, real insurance hikes, real fines, and real points on your license.gottagofishin wrote:We walked the first day and then rented bikes for the rest of the week.

Was told the same thing here in Jersey. Was talking to a cop outsice a bar at the shore and I mentioned that I rode my bike. He told me that you can get a DUI on your bicycle.Quint wrote:To be more preciese... If you do not have lights you could get pulled over. If you have had a few drinks you will be given a DUI.

I know this probly sounds silly to most. Consider that the bike is considered a main source of transportation as well.
Also know that when on Duval you must ride on the road. No bike riding on the sidewalk of Duval st.
Oh, and no Segues either...hey I would not say it if I have not seen it. It to bad there are no Segues allowed. Talk about a money making oppertunity in the rental business !
Fun. Not like FF, but fun. But be warned, rates are up and it is usually a 3 night minimum.BigR-KyParrothead wrote:what is KW like for New Years Eve? Thinking about making a trip to bring in 2008.

Crowded and crazy, beads boobs and all.
pricey!
Been there twice for New Years, saw things I never had before.
If $400 for a Days Inn type room is your idea of a bargain, enjoy!
For a mere $110 including all taxes you can pitch a tent over the bridge one key east. Nice bathrooms for a campground. Not worth the price, but nice. No KOA, but nicer than a national forest.BigR-KyParrothead wrote:Longboardn' ASEL&S wrote:Crowded.BigR-KyParrothead wrote:what is KW like for New Years Eve?
